WEBVTT

00:00.419 --> 00:02.252
Three Rifles has been working as

00:02.252 --> 00:04.363
security force assistance brigade for

00:04.363 --> 00:06.530
the past several years , most recently

00:06.530 --> 00:09.279
in Turkey on Operation FS and has

00:09.279 --> 00:11.557
gained significant experience doing so .

00:11.689 --> 00:13.745
I think it's been immensely valuable

00:13.745 --> 00:15.745
working with the 2nd Security Force

00:15.745 --> 00:17.745
assistance Brigade of the US , um ,

00:17.745 --> 00:19.745
learning different ways to approach

00:19.745 --> 00:21.967
different issues and helping each other

00:21.967 --> 00:24.078
become better teachers and advisors .

00:24.078 --> 00:26.133
Uh , we've been working with partner

00:26.133 --> 00:25.909
forces , Kenyans , Tanzanians , and

00:25.909 --> 00:28.319
Somalians , as well as Americans , uh ,

00:28.440 --> 00:30.329
to hone their tactical skills and

00:30.329 --> 00:34.099
drills on a , um , urban framework . Uh ,

00:34.159 --> 00:36.319
it'll culminate tomorrow in the

00:36.319 --> 00:38.486
Distinguished Visitors' Day , which we

00:38.486 --> 00:40.652
had an excellent rehearsal for today .

00:40.652 --> 00:42.875
Working with , um , partner forces here

00:42.875 --> 00:45.152
in Kenya , notably Somalians , Kenyans ,

00:45.152 --> 00:47.263
Tanzanians and Americans , has helped

00:47.263 --> 00:49.479
us all widen our worldview . Um ,

00:49.819 --> 00:51.708
understand a better skill set for

00:51.708 --> 00:53.541
working in different terrain and

00:53.541 --> 00:55.541
environments that we aren't used to

00:55.541 --> 00:57.541
working in . I think it's been very

00:57.541 --> 00:59.597
valuable working with partner forces

00:59.597 --> 01:01.520
who have been in , uh , combat ,

01:01.740 --> 01:05.010
especially with , uh , Terrorist actors

01:05.010 --> 01:07.389
more recently than we have so we can

01:07.389 --> 01:09.389
understand better how to fight such

01:09.389 --> 01:11.222
adversaries , especially in such

01:11.222 --> 01:13.389
climates as this . So I'd say that the

01:13.410 --> 01:16.000
climate here was being much more brutal

01:16.000 --> 01:19.199
in terms of heat and altitude , um ,

01:19.489 --> 01:21.600
also allows for much more interesting

01:21.600 --> 01:23.822
fauna than we have back home , being as

01:23.822 --> 01:25.822
usually we're used to squirrels and

01:25.822 --> 01:27.878
foxes on the training area , whereas

01:27.878 --> 01:29.933
we're seeing zebras , hyenas , etc .

01:29.933 --> 01:32.211
and that makes all the difference . Uh ,

01:32.211 --> 01:33.989
just that it's been an absolute

01:33.989 --> 01:35.933
privilege working with all partner

01:35.933 --> 01:36.129
forces here on justified court .
